15-Mar-2008 $160.00 AUTOsports @ Wakefield Wakefield Park Raceway

I'd be keen to just pick the auto sports day in the future and book into that if I continue to have no success. Yes we could make maybe $2000 for the club if we ran it ourselves, but there's also the $500 loss possibility.

Hi everyone.

I'm Niko and I'm the vice president of the ACT Supra Club.

John has been keeping us updated on sf.com.au regarding this track day, so I thought I'd come on here and introduce myself.

The ACT Supra Club started last year in July with hopes of attracting 15 to 20 members. We have now just ticked over 30 members so things are progressing better than expected. Along with a few memebrs of the NSWSC that actually take their car to the track, I'm sure that we can contribute to the numbers required.

We have generated some interest on our forum regarding this event. A lot of our members are young but they are very keen to have a go at the track. I'm sure that more interest would be created once a date is set.

I mean more Supra drivers are sure to come just to shut you Skyline owners up :)

We are keen to get this up and running so let us know if we can help.

Welcome :banana:

Thats excellent Niko :D I think we can make a fun day out of this. How do your members feel if its a few more dollars but less cars i.e. more time on the track?

Haha... Nice...

Like we always say... The lack of 4WD and extra lag is just a courteous head start :D You think we are in your rear view mirror and then you realise we've overtaken and pulling away. It must be nice to have that 4WD 'training wheels' system though. :banana:

Open wheelers cant run with sedans... Its a saftey thing for us open Wheelers the big heavey fat sedan drivers tend not to see us going past them and run us down. Not nice having 1400kg on top of a 600kg or less openwheeler.

HAHAHAHAHA, If you need help beating a GTR, i will turn off my 4wd for you and with my rb26 starting to come on boost at 5.5 (10 psi) and on hard by 6 i am sure i will be just as laggy as you. (if not your turbo is just to big :banana: and you will flog us on the dyno day....) lol.

I want to go up agianst supras soooo Bad... I love them, hmmmm 2jz.

hahaha! gotta love the rivalry already! training wheels... love it!!! :laughing-smiley-014:

perhaps we should all make a payment of $165 to a trustworthy person, and get them to make a booking with payment on a friday later in the year, say in August or something similar, that way, we have our day booked, people have a crap load of time to get time off work and we've already paid for it. just a thought.....

I know a couple of these supra people, dyno we are going to lose, but at least one of these high horsepower supras cant drive it for shit and I mean FOR SHIT!! *cough* Danny *cough*

And ive heard a few stories, so it will be a different kettle on the track.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
